Description
Twenty years after his acclaimed postpunk best-seller, Rip It Up and Start Again, Simon Reynolds captures the musical exhilaration of the era along with the alienation of youth during a period of ascendant conservative politics and glitzy mainstream pop.
In Britain, groups like Cocteau Twins and Slowdive escaped into shimmering dreamworlds while American underground rockers like Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement blended apathy and urgency into thrilling noise. A propulsive and personal account from a journalist who covered this music in real time from the frontlines, Still in a Dream vividly recreates a period that was the last blast for the analogue culture of vinyl records and music papers, before the Internet changed everything.
